ABSTRACT

Background and Objective: Among various drugs described in Ayurveda, Kshara are a class of drug derived from the ashes of different medicinal plants which are known for their wide utility in practice. However, little is known about chemical aspects of these substances. Calotropis procera (Arka) is an important plant described widely in the Ayurveda literature for the beneficial preparations derived out of the whole plant as well as from its ash. This study was aimed at to analyse the Arka Kshara on chemical parameters. Methods: Arka kshara was characterized using X-Ray diffraction, FT-IR Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy and pH measurement. Results: Sulphates and carbonates of potassium were found in Arka Kshara. Conclusion: Arka Kshara is mainly composed of inorganic salts of potassium.
